Did the city change the Urban Farming meeting at the last minute?
The meeting was supposed to be tomorrow. Then out of nowhere it got changed to next Friday;

I found some of his proposals to be very interesting, especially in this section;
FIRST PARAGRAPH: What confidentiality rules? A private citizen is protected by the US Constitution and the 1st Amendment. They don’t have to keep ANYTHING confidential. If I file a complaint against an elected official for a certain reason, I can tell anyone I want to about the complaint. City charter and ordinance does not trump the US Constitution. Sorry Fiddle-Faddle, you are not fooling anyone with this proposal.
SECOND PARAGRAPH: The word frivolous means all kinds of things to all kinds of people, as defined in the dictionary;
1. characterized by lack of seriousness or sense: frivolousconduct.
2. self-indulgently carefree; unconcerned about or lacking anyserious purpose.
3. (of a person) given to trifling or undue levity: a frivolous,empty-headed person.
4. of little or no weight, worth, or importance; not worthy of serious notice: a frivolous suggestion.
I guess consulting is where it is at;

It amazes me that some journalists(?) in SF actually collect a paycheck. I checked all 3 TV stations and our local paper. No news about one of the most explosive city council meetings in history. Not a peep. I wonder what it feels like to have city hall’s fist around your balls? Mine hang freely.
Andy Traub plans to address the council tonight during the public testimony about the Charter Revision Commission’s latest meeting. It should be a good one. Andy was given permission to use audio from the meeting during his testimony. I know that Andy won’t be the only one speaking. A couple of other citizens have hinted to me they will be speaking out about it to.
WATCH THE MEETING. LISTEN TO PUBLIC INPUT AT THE BEGINNING
FF TO 27:00 TO HEAR ENTENMAN AND HUETHER HEAD TO THE CORN FIELD WITH THE MANURE SPREADER.
Sometimes Holsen knows exactly how I feel about a topic, and I couldn’t agree more with her latest post;
However, the mayor is the one who still reviews the applications and decides who to recommend for appointment. When I retired from city government service, I wanted to give back to the city by volunteering my time to serve on two boards that I felt I could provide credible and knowledgeable service. I immediately put in applications to serve on one of the two pension boards and the charter revision commission. I have never received so much as a letter or contact of interest regarding my applications. I also know of others who would have been credible and knowledgeable volunteers for the Charter Revision Commission who were also not contacted by the mayor’s office.
I got treated the same way. While I don’t consider myself an expert on charter law, I think after covering city politics for 10 years, I have a pretty good feel for what ‘works’ and what ‘doesn’t work’. The current CRC isn’t working out so well.
